Our new sermon series from the book of Acts will focus on how we, the Church, are Kingdom people. Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of God has “arrived among you” (Matthew 12:28), that the Kingdom “is near you now” (Luke 10:9), and in Luke 17:21, that “the Kingdom of God is already among you.” Surely, we know that the Kingdom is coming. The Lord will return, bringing the fullness of the reign of God, consummating the Kingdom of God. But, while we watch, wait and pray, “Thy Kingdom come,” we also get to live together as Kingdom people. Our church family gets to be an outpost of heaven here on earth, and we get to advance the Kingdom of God in the power of the name of Jesus. As we finish our reading together in the Gospel of Luke, and move into Acts in our Journey Through the Bible, we will explore how we can take hold of this great gift, and live as Kingdom people.
